Question

Two alleles exhibit overdominance and are in a stable equilibrium when allele p = 0.3. What will happen to allele p over time if an event moves the population to a frequency of p = 0.4? Allele p will return to a frequency of 0.3 and stay there Allele p will go to a frequency of 0.7 and allele q will go to a frequency of 0.3 Allele p will be lost from the population. Allele p will go to fixation in the population.

Step 1

This means that individuals with both alleles (p and q) have a higher survival or reproductive rate than individuals with either allele alone. In a stable equilibrium, the frequency of the alleles in the population remains constant from generation to generation. Show more…
